Liverpool make transfer decision on Brazilian star linked with Serie A move

Alisson Becker to AC Milan links resurface, but Juventus remains the real threat to Liverpool’s No.1

Alisson Becker to AC Milan: Alisson Becker is now expected to remain at Liverpool next season, with reliable sources including Sky Sports’ Merseyside reporter Vinny O’Connor and transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirming the club’s firm stance. The story behind this saga stretches back several weeks and has kept supporters on edge throughout the final stretch of the Premier League season. Speculation around Alisson Becker to AC Milan and Juventus has dominated transfer discourse, yet the clearest picture only emerged in recent days.

Italian journalist Nicolo Schira reported earlier this month that Alisson had agreed on personal terms with Juventus on a contract worth €5 million per year. Fabrizio Romano later revealed that Juventus were prepared to offer a two-year deal with an option for a third year, a notably longer commitment than what Liverpool are currently offering. Alisson currently earns £150,000 per week at Liverpool, placing him among the club’s highest-paid players.

Alisson Becker to AC Milan, noise couldn’t drown out Liverpool’s intentions

Liverpool triggered a clause extending Alisson’s contract through to 2027, and the club’s hierarchy communicated their desire to retain him directly. Romano confirmed on X that Liverpool had informed Alisson of their plan to keep him for one more year, and that only the player pushing to leave could alter that stance. A source close to the goalkeeper also told WinWinAllSports that Alisson is “very happy at the club” and that all indications point towards him staying.

Why Alisson Becker to AC Milan or Juventus still won’t happen this summer?

Alisson has previously stated that if it is in the interest of the club to negotiate a sale, the conversation would be different, but he is not pushing for a move. Liverpool have been doing due diligence on potential goalkeeper replacements, with Giorgi Mamardashvili already at the club as his long-term successor. For now, however, Liverpool see Alisson as essential for 2026–27.

Are Liverpool making the right call?

Liverpool are absolutely correct to hold firm here, and frankly, the reasoning does not take long to construct. The club already face enormous change this summer, losing Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, two pillars of the squad’s identity and dressing-room culture.

Stripping out the goalkeeper as well would leave a spine that looks nothing like what won the Premier League title in 2024/25. Mamardashvili arrived from Valencia for £29 million and is nearing the end of his first season, with the jury still out on whether he is ready for undisputed first-choice responsibility. Slot cannot afford to throw a young, still-adjusting goalkeeper into a season that demands experience from the back.

The wages argument, £150,000 per week for a 33-year-old, holds some merit on paper, but the alternative costs more. Replacing Alisson with an adequate deputy mid-rebuild carries a risk that outweighs the short-term financial relief. Juventus offered a longer contract, yet longer does not mean better at this stage of Alisson’s career. One more year at Anfield, playing alongside a squad that still needs veteran leadership, serves everyone’s interests far more than a premature exit to Turin.
